Plato, Republic, textual problems, Book IAbstract
This article deals with some textual problems of Plato’s Republic that are relevant for a Portuguese translation of this dialogue. The purpose of these pages is to determine the main principles and criteria that will allow me to justify some translations difficulties caused by textual problems. This methodology will be exemplified with some textual problems of Book I. The reference materials are those published under the project “Text edition of Plato’s eighth tetralogy” organized by Siem Slings from 1977 to 2003. The main works will be study of Gerard Boter on the textual tradition (BOTER, 1989) and the critical notes published by Slings in Mnemosyne, which were posthumously published as a supplement of that journal (SLINGS, 2005).
